'Unfit For Office': Paul Ryan Torches Trump In Scathing Fox News Interview
HuffPost
The former House speaker slammed the ex-president and current GOP candidate for putting himself above the Constitution.
Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan tore into former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying he won’t be voting for him and calling out his lack of character and principles.
“If you put yourself above the Constitution, as he has done, I think that makes you unfit for office,” he told Fox News host Neil Cavuto.
Cavuto asked if that was because of “the whole Jan. 6 thing.”
“That’s a part of it,” Ryan said. “I think it really is just character at the end of the day, and the fact that if you’re willing to put yourself above the Constitution ― an oath you swear when you take federal office, whether as president or a member of Congress, you swear an oath to the Constitution ― and you’re willing to suborn it to yourself, I think that makes you unfit for office.”
Ryan also blamed Trump for GOP election losses in recent years.
